  • This Is It .........
    author: Lars G Lindberg

    The CD Baby rewiev doesen´t allow more than 5 stars in the rewiev rating......... If there had been a chance to give 10 Stars I would have given it ! For starters - Billy Yates have gone from A to B in a moderate tempo. Always taking in what goes and making the best of it. After 23 years in the radio business...... Billy knocks me down each time there´s a new CD out. Light up the BBQ serve a cool one and turn up the speakers. Billy will entertain you from sober to drunk .... from hungry to feed.......from track 1 to 10. The Cirkus is NOT over...... the show this year is the best I´ve heard. Thanks Billy ...... from all your FANS in Sweden and a overexcited DJ - who really likes what he hear.

  • Traditional Country Music at it's Best!
    author: Kathy Wedvik, Songwriter

    Wonderful song and GREAT recording artist! This is definately traditional music at it's very best!

  • author: CD Baby

    With soft echoes of Alan Jackson and George Strait, Billy's honest, perfectly simple lyrics wind around sonic, sweetly-ringing modern country songs that creep in, slowly crest and shimmer, then trail off the very way the sun rises and sets. This Grammy-nominated songwriter is at his best in the appropriately-titled release, "Harmony Man". With luscious melodies and supple harmonies that cut across the genre, his classic country stylings are sure to steal the heart of any country music lover, from traditional to modern.
